3.5.4. Enabling/Disabling Quota Enforcement
In GFS2 file systems, quota enforcement is disabled by default. To enable quota enforcement for a file system, mount the file system with the quota=on option specified.
mount -o quota=on BlockDevice MountPoint
To mount a file system with quota enforcement disabled, mount the file system with the quota=off option specified. This is the default setting.
mount -o quota=off BlockDevice MountPoint
-o quota={on|off}-
Specifies that quota enforcement is enabled or disabled when the file system is mounted.
BlockDevice-
Specifies the block device where the GFS2 file system resides.
MountPoint-
Specifies the directory where the GFS2 file system should be mounted.
In this example, the GFS2 file system on /dev/vg01/lvol0 is mounted on the /mygfs2 directory with quota enforcement enabled.
mount -o quota=on /dev/vg01/lvol0 /mygfs2
